Depends if you had root and rescue backdoor
Nope no root or backdoor. It seems the thing has wiped all its partitions as well

Stuck and Sony Logo, the Recovery Menu gives no help, it doesn't ever seem to recognize my SD no matter what files I put on it.

There isn't much you can do except sending it to the repair center sorry :/
EDIT: except if you were on any version before 4.0.3 R5A
Nah I think it was on ICS, Recovery Menu states Rev.29 (3B)or e? so too new
Update
Just thought I'd post an update for all those who helped....
Took it to Sony to repair, just needed reflashing, only cost like $60, issue resolved.!
Cheers to those who helped
What on earth is 1st Gen and 2nd Gen????
No one bothers to explain any of this B.S.
I don't get why NO ONE has bothered to document how they are differentiated!

you should paste this thread into Q&A
cheers.
thanx bro but its amazing i try this firmware again n my handset is alive !!1
Hmmmm........
good news!
perhaps you can deal with problems yourself rather than easily asking for help.......
dude. this isn't a damn symbian phone which kills your phone by downgrading .
edit: yes, I have tonnes of symbian phones
YOU CAN NOT BRICK ANY PRE-2011 SE PHONE WITH ANDROID ON IT BY FLASHING!!
The worst one can do is switching phone off while flashing, that causes the partitions to be filled with trash data.
Learn this and quit spamming the DEVELOPEMENT forum!
dual post... delete please!!

It is my understanding that radio will boot first, followed by other systems. So it is IMPORTANT that your radio image/version will work with your SPL(bootloader) image/version. This is the one and only reason for phones being bricked. You can not brick your phone by flashing a ROM or Boot image or recovery image. Once you flash the wrong radio for the SPL(bootloader), the only known method of recovery is to send the phone back into SE for repair. Now with boot loader unlocked this is quite possible!!
How do I know the phone is bricked? A bricked phone can not boot into boot loader, recovery, or into normal operation modes. You can not connect to a bricked phone via adb or fastboot. You can only see one screen on the phone and it will be the first splash screen.
Hello,
Yesterday I bought Samsung S4 Korean Clone by Media Tek and experiencing several issues with the rest and I decided to go with Factory Reset.
After Factory Reset it stopped displaying Samsung Logo at boot and shut down. I was doing research online and installed different tools on it and all were pointed out that handset should be rooted.
I saw another tutorial to root with MtkDroidTools_v248 and after the successful root of my handset I restarted it and phone gone blank.
I tried to do another factory reset by holding volume up+power+home button but no luck.
I don't have any backup.
Anyone can help?
Thanks

I have a Galaxy S4 clone by Mediatek,it's MT6572 S00 I had a problem on it & after I recovered it stopped working,so I start a long journey look for a backup or a Rom & everyone I tried I got a different prob like:
some made it black nothing work at all & others made 1/2 the screen work & the other 1/2 yellow or multicolor...& it's like that since a long time & I really start to lost hope :'( so Please any help or backup files?
MTKs are a waste of time. If you like Android development and stuff, skip MTKs and get a more reliable brand.

Well mate, I am off MTK, abondened MTK happily everafter, so I could provide you the backup files as I get on to my desk back, but the real problem is lib files about in your clone S4 as it depends on Display IC number used in and according to it you have the firmware must contain that Display IC firmware, so you have to tear down the phone and let know the display IC number, but still it is a no go.
I need help immediately cause I am paniking. So I rooted my phone using the KingRoot application, and after the root was succesful used SuperSu-Me to remove KingRoot. SuperSu-Me installed SuperSU on my device which in turn had to install an update, so I let it do its thing. After the update was installed SuperSU prompted me to reboot my phone so i did. Problem is the phone has been stuck for about half an hour in the shifting shapes screen, fastboot doesn't work. I have tried hard reseting it but the problem persists.

Found a solution?
My solution
I fixed it by unlocking the bootloader in fastboot mode, flashing TWRP and using it to flash the original version of the oxygen os, the one that came preloaded with the phone.
Please help me too I'm literally panicking this is my one and only device and it happened just like exactly yours. After supersume asked to reboot my phone now it is stuck on the phone logo screen. Help me pleaaase (( My phone is very important to me. I've been searching for forums and I only found yours that had the same problem with me. By now it's about 1hr just stuck in there ( please help me im begging you!

First, please don't follow instructions you're finding on this specific forum since it's for the OnePlus X, not the Starmobile. Secondly you needed to unlock your bootloader first, since you didn't from the sounds of it you can't boot into Android since it's now tampered. You'll need to boot into recovery, usually by pressing Power + Volume Down until it loads and factory reset your device.

Try to find out your solution in your device's forums, since this forums is for the OnePlus X and not the Starmobile Knight Luxe.
If your device is stuck on the bootup screen, you need to go to fastboot mode, unlock the bootloader (if you haven't), flash a custom recovery, boot into the recovery, and factory reset the device. It should work.
Guys!!! Thank you for all your suggestions. I did flash a custom recovery but it fails simultaneously. I just let it fix on a local phone repair shop just paid a few bucks

How in the hell did u hardbrick it? Also it's very unlikely to get a hard brick if you never unlocked the bootloader unless you've played with the internal hardware of the phone.

That's a softbrick... It isn't any bad news really... Give the phone some time to boot.
Hardbrick - no led, no vibrate, nothing works, connecting it to pc results in absolutely nothing ie cannot flash and cannot be detected etcc. Basically like a dam brick
Softbrick - got led, got vibrate, can be detected and flashed in pc, just can't boot into the system. This is usually no big deal.

I've had a decent experience from trying to root my phone, and being able to save my phone a couple of times.
So hopefully I'd be able to help you too.
In what sense is it bricked?
You can't turn it on because the screen is literally black and you can't even get to the Sony logo?
yes,the screen is black
I cant even see anything,only red led light on charging,nothing else
